The impact of minimal invasive surgery on early complications and mortality after radical cystectomy for muscle-invasive urothelial bladder cancer.
CONCLUSIONS: The 30-day death rate after radical cystectomy for muscle-invasive urothelial bladder cancer was low. Open cystectomy was associated with more severe short-term complications as compared with the laparoscopic approach. Postoperative anemia was associated with the type of surgery, diversion type and male gender.
